I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 685 - 505 The Correct Way to Use Steel

Chapter 685 -505 The Correct Way to Use Steel

Lu Yuan’s pupils dilated: “No wonder I was splattered with blood even when hiding in the Different Space. Turns out this thing can still track me.”

“In other words, as long as I eliminate this mark, the Different Space still has the ability to hide.”

“Otherwise, no matter how I run, I can’t shake off the tracking.”

He shouted: “Old Cat, take advantage of the moment right after instant teleportation when idealist interference is reduced, to send a signal. I will use the [Steel] ability to reduce the idealist interference around you.”

Old Cat struggled and sent a signal: “Has the Undying Giant Turtle been dug out?”

After a while, sporadic information came through the satellite call: “Not yet! This [Ghost] has a space-level pursuit ability! (*static) But its teleportation ability isn’t as strong as yours!”

“(*static) It must target you personally!”

The satellite phone emitted a “buzzing” sound.

“Is the space ability also triggered through the Blood Pupil Mark?”

A cold glimmer appeared once again.

Thick ink spread into the air, seeping into the air and soil, a scale fell off, exposing the deep white bones of a snake-man crawling slowly out of the darkness, its sinister blood pupils locked onto Lu Yuan, about to unleash a red light.

Lu Yuan cursed in his heart and once again used the instant teleportation ability to escape.

He fled frantically; the opponent wanted to catch him, but it wasn’t that easy either.

“Now I’ve already tested four abilities: soul mark, some space ability, plus that terrifying red light, and ghost blood.”

“This skill combination is really strong, as if it were deliberately designed.”

The soul mark on him was just about to be eliminated by the [Steel] ability.

But he was caught up by the [Ghost] and watched for a moment, and it was imprinted back again.

“If I use luck to enhance [Steel], the time needed to break it can be greatly reduced. But running away like this just doesn’t feel satisfying. Since I’m here, and I’ve spent so much money…”

Lu Yuan kept teleporting over three thousand kilometers, from one end of the grassland to the other in a frantic teleportation.

That [Ghost] kept following like a shadow, pressing tightly.

“The satellite signal is intermittent…”

“Wait a moment, the Undying Giant Turtle has dug up someone,” Old Cat squeezed in a sentence, “You eliminate the mark before teleporting back.”

“Don’t fight anymore; you’re quite impressive for not being dead by now.”

“Alright, I’m going to use my ultimate move directly,” Lu Yuan was a bit irritated too, “Damn it, did you really think I had no way to deal with you?”

Well, there was indeed no way.

However, it’s not really difficult if he wants to shake off this [Ghost].

Lu Yuan actually had several killer moves reserved, and various Spirit Runes could delay it for a while, but exactly how long wasn’t easy to say.

But the biggest killer move is a drop of blood from a [Blood Ghost].

You’re proud of your fighting prowess? I’ll release the [Blood Ghost] and let you both fight each other!

It’s hard to predict whether the Snake Ghost or Blood Ghost would be stronger.

Of course, this idea flashed through his mind before he immediately dismissed it.

After all, Lu Yuan was still rational; the grassland only spanned so much area, and if something went wrong and the blood managed to revive the [Blood Ghost] from the Great Lai Empire’s spaceship, it would be disastrous!

So he could only resort to using something he bought with money— the horn of an Ancient Insect!

The things bought, after all, are meant to be used.

Once used, they become materials.

“Elder, save me! I’m out of energy, I’m going to die!” Lu Yuan wailed loudly in his heart, “Elder, let me see your true strength!”

The Ancient Insect was dumbfounded by this series of flamboyant actions. Its most direct impression was: [New Myth, you’re really affluent.]

[You spent quite a bit on this continuous spatial teleportation, thousands of kilometers.]

The Ancient Insect wailed: [I sold it cheaply; I sold my horn cheaply. It takes a long time to regrow; how did I fall for your trap and sell it at cost? You’re clearly stronger than me.]

Its tone was melancholy, clearly seeing Lu Yuan’s health visibly thick, not quite like an energy depleted state.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth: “Don’t haggle over the price at such a critical moment; quickly use your domineering attack!”

“If I survive, we can together dupe newcomers in the Immortal Palace, and I can give you a bit more profit!”

“If you don’t save me, you’ll get nothing at all. You won’t even need to worry about returning the favor you owe me!”

The Ancient Insect’s eyes narrowed, immediately becoming serious.

[New Myth, get ready to see the power of the Ancient Insect’s strike!]

[Don’t teleport anymore. The power in this horn can only be used once.]

[If this [Ghost] also teleports and evades the attack, we’ll be in big trouble.]

“Alright.”

Lu Yuan, with a thought, had the Ancient Insect’s dark horn abruptly teleported out of the Immortal Palace.

This massive behemoth, dozens of meters long, emitted an ancient yet dark shine under moonlight.

A great momentum slowly brewed.

At this moment, the [Ghost] entangled once again, the surroundings quickly darkened.

The darkness thickened, possibly due to realizing the existence of the [Steel] ability user, fostering an undying hatred from the [Ghost].

It once more made the tail-swinging gesture.

[Think of a way to catch it! Just for a second!]

“How can I catch it for a second? You’re not making it easy for me!” Lu Yuan shouted in his heart.

[Figure it out yourself! Watch this Ancient Worm dismember it directly.]

Lu Yuan, though relying on the Ancient Insect, wouldn’t pin all his hopes on others. His mind raced intensely.

After a careful sensing, he realized he’d consumed about 4000 points of Spirit Essence and over 10 points of luck during the intense movement, enough to make his heart tremble with pain.

The Greedy Demon God lacked a heart, and the absence of this organ made large-scale energy consumption cause his muscles to faintly ache all over.

On the other hand, lacking a heart made energy utilization inefficient.

It had gone this far, with so much money spent, that he felt a bit resigned, not wanting to care too much, prioritizing testing more limits of the Greedy Demon God.

“So you think you’re good at splattering blood, huh?” He watched the Snake-man [Ghost] with an attack stance with vigilance. If it weren’t for wanting to attack, he would’ve teleported away by now.

The [Ghost], seeming to retain certain snake-man motions, whipped its tail forcefully, filthy blood spraying out with a trace of soul tracking.

In the instant when the light changed, Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed; his tensed nerves instinctively reacted.

“Here it comes.”

A flood of blood approached from the front, Lu Yuan, bracing himself, urged the [Steel] ability to its maximum.

At this moment, a surge of heat welled up within his chest, and a hot stream rushed up from his throat.

The murky [Ghost] blood splashed on his skin, a cold force surged up to his skull, causing every hair on his body to stand on end!

His soul began burning, the intensely extreme soul attack was a real damage; Lu Yuan bit his teeth, madly lunged forward.

He grabbed the snake-man’s neck, the old blood in his throat also spurted out: “Wah!”

This spurt of old blood splattered onto the Snake-man [Ghost]’s blood pupils, and the withered, decayed skin dissolved like beeswax!

The [Steel] ability, proportional to the Divine Attribute, Lu Yuan’s current 31 points, as a Great Spirit Rhythmer, was considered quite decent.

The Snake-man [Ghost], sprayed head-to-toe with blood, was stupefied, whining and rolling on the ground.

The darkness in the air quickly dissipated.

Lu Yuan was a bit dumbfounded too: “Fighting all this time, turns out doing a spray was more effective?”

He finally understood why the real taboo of the [Steel] ability.

To endure two hits and still not be killed, indeed ranked quite high among the divine skills.

But if the strategy depends only on passive endurance, spatial ability actually holds a higher strategic value?

Spatial ability can even ensure self-safety!

The importance of the [Steel] ability user was more in — blood.

The [Steel] ability couldn’t be released outward, but could attach itself to blood, hence the blood held a formidable sealing ability.

The [Ghost·Spirit Shrine’s Eye], getting sprayed once, had significantly weakened its aura.

[Quickly dodge! I’ll dismember it!]

The Ancient Insect roared, the massive horn in the sky launched an attack.

With a black arc, the giant horn howled and struck directly through the [Ghost]’s head, creating a massive explosion!

It was raw power, quite formidable.

A terrifying whistle resounded, the giant horn hammering the [Ghost] deep into the ground, turning the area into a steaming lava pit. The diameter of that big pit alone stretched several kilometers.

Sounded like it hit right into the Earth’s core, and the volcano started erupting!

“My horn, I paid for that! How do I retrieve it, buried so deep?” Lu Yuan wailed at the edge of the subterranean cave.

“Ancient Insect, how long can your attack sustain?”

[Hmpf, at least half an hour. I’ve already dismembered it, believe it or not? Strong civilizations can already seal it.] The Ancient Insect said proudly.

“Insect Elder, you’re awesome.”

“Escape quickly! Don’t teleport back, erase your soul mark first!” Old Cat said.

“I know.” Lu Yuan grit his teeth, glanced at the magma-filled giant pit, with so much money spent, he really did want to seal it.

But this could only be done by a powerful civilization.

Alone, currently, he was helpless about sealing.

Rationally, he could only let it go.

The [Steel] ability continually flushed the blood-red mark from the depths of the soul, swiftly cleansing it thoroughly.

He sprinted across the land.

“Do your teleport, brother.”

“3000 kilometers, teleportation costs money!” Lu Yuan said with a bitter face, “I’m currently under the ‘Divine Power,’ running fast, don’t worry, I’ll be back in Quincy City in half an hour.”

The Ancient Insect, feeling guilty: [It might only hold up for 10 minutes. Maybe just 5, or even only 1 minute before it recovers.]

Lu Yuan was stunned, really, such a discount?

Old Cat retorted: “By the way, don’t bother with anything else daily, just bleed. Those Spirit Word, Hydrogen Bomb won’t match up to bleeding.”
